Concentration Curls, Are they really worth it?

[therock003]

It seems i may be doing too many bicep exercises, and i need to cut one loose. I'm thinking of omitting concentration. I think i prefer preacher better, and btw at the time i reach concentration my muscles are so worked up, i can barely curl with the 5kg dumbbells...

I have been looking at this old post, almost everyone (except one) says preacher are better and more efficient. It is also said to do both, but since i need to lose one, i might as well lose the concentrations. Do you think it is right that I'm doing this?

Yes. When you feel like your doing too many sets, the best course of action is usually to cut out the most isolation intensive exercise you're currently doing.

They're just curls. Don't over think it.

This is a non-answer. I'll go with what northlax said.

One curl is fine.

Especially if your are doing a sufficient amount of rows and chin-ups.

Go ahead and alternate between them on different sessions.

I'm with croberrw on this one. Variety is an important key to staving off a plateau so switch it up and keep the body guessing bud

Concentration curls are great. They really isolate your biceps and are much harder to "cheat" on than say normal standing dumbbell curls.

dont have to do all your bicep exercises in one day just spread them out over several workout and then mix and match

Biceps are a small muscle group, there is no need to set a whole training session them. Focus on compound movements and add in your isolation work for example on back day if your doing deadlifts, rows, chinups/pull ups etc.. your biceps are inheritely worked add a couple variations of curls and that's all you need.
